Step 3 of 16

Now, we have to write the primary dimension of each parameter.

Primary dimension of modulus of density,

Primary dimension of diameter,

 Primary dimension of tank diameter,

Primary dimension of acceleration due to gravity,

Step 4 of 16

The number of primary dimensions represented in the problem is 3,

As a first guess, j is first set equal to three.

If this value of j is correct the number of predicted by Buckingham Pi theorem is,

Number of expected
